Post by: Dubliner on 17:36, 10 May 24
I had again the great honor of being able to talk to a CPC legend.

Another great developer who wasn´t asked "in many decades" about a great game: The Vikings.

I didn't know that Martin "Hybris-on-Amiga" Pedersen had previously worked on our lovely CPC and made games there.

Thanks, Dubliner, for all the background information revealed by this interview. Man lernt nie aus.

I never heard of "The Vikings" and I can't even find a gameplay video... seems to be a hidden gem.

It was reviewed in the March 1987 issue of Amtix! (https://archive.org/details/Amtix_Magazine_Issue_17/page/n84/mode/1up), but I've never seen a copy of it for sale anywhere, other than the Spanish release. Martin said in the interview that Kele Line went bust shortly after The Vikings was finished, so maybe they were unable to release the game in the UK before they went bust.
